I think the "scammer" label is a joke...

it would be a joke if he refunded his customers which has been clearly stated that he will not (unless that's a general statement)
Self-admitted scammers should be banned from our community... This is going back to some weird political ideology that the forum is trying to push, and it's not good for Bitcoin...
no its not, it the simple logical conclusion. that even if he did some bad things he can still help the forum. the alternative would be that he open a new account and scam more people. but he bears the scammer label with proud, with the intension of saying: "yes i fucked up, don't do bissness with me, but i still have some knowledge, that you can make use of and im willing to share."

So did you learn from those business decisions?  Will you make the same mistake again?
I wouldn't've started this whole shebang had I known what was coming. On the other hand, I still refuse to refund my customers.

Could you please give us some insight into why you refuse to refund them?

OK, I guess it doesn't matter since there's a clear link on your profile.

That text isn't clear enough.
It's clearer if I sign up for another account, right?

Ah, I forgot that scammers can't edit their profile info. Would have been easier to use the signature to start with.

That text isn't clear enough.

I don't think that's necessary.
Slap it in my sig, then (I can't access my profile settings).
I would like it as follows:

It reminds me of the Puritan practice of putting miscreants on display in stocks. (I'm not being critical, just observing a similarity).

The idea is to warn people who might trade with him, not to punish him. The forum doesn't handle justice.

Thanks! Is it possible to have some kind of link next to what would've been my avatar, the "user box"?
If this were XenForo, a simple template hook would suffice, not sure how SMF handles its stuff.

If I had to guess, I'd say you're related to Phinneous Gage
Have a look, Matthew:
I asked myself, WWAD? Upon finding the asking, I did it--opened a new account. With that new account, I went on a diatribe about being banned, this forum needs change, etc.

I think it was 'Nikki the Bitch'.

I added a note to terrytibbs's profile so people can see why he has the scammer label.

Does the system include any path to redemption?
Yes, he just has to pay back the people that he scammed. While it won't guarantee that we'll remove the label, it will at least allow us to re-open the case and re-evaluate things.

My inner cultural anthropologist wannabe is intrigued by this approach.

It reminds me of the Puritan practice of putting miscreants on display in stocks. (I'm not being critical, just observing a similarity).

Time in the stocks was temporary though. This seems more permanent, so perhaps it is more like the scarlet letter approach.

Those historical practices died out, but I have no idea why.

I'll watch with interest to see how this turns out. Really! No veiled criticism or irony intended. This medium makes every comment seem so sour.

Hmm... I'm glad I don't have to wear labels in dirtspace for my lifetime of misjudgements.

Does the system include any path to redemption? Could someone get a fresh start if they wrote new code for the forum, for instance?
That would be an apples/oranges mix but might be a worthwhile tradeoff within our closed society. Yikes, what price redemption?... Corruption?... Fairness?...
The whole morality debate looms.

Ramblin', I know, but it's a cool topic. Somebody gave me a copy of Muzzey's "Ethics as a Religion" when I was a kid and it must have done something to my brain.
